STAY CONNECTED: INFRASTRUCTURE AS A TOOL FOR ECONOMIC INTEGRATION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
In a fast-changing environment where global trade dynamics are shaping new relations among States, the Mediterranean area is regaining a central role. A comprehensive plan to build new infrastructures is crucial to unleash the region’s growth potential but it requires more cooperation between public and private actors and the involvement of the multilateral development and investment banks. The challenge for the region is to make investments in infrastructures an enabler for a more sustained and sustainable economic growth, giving higher attention to their social and environmental impact.
